Welcome to the UK Hyundai Coupe Site
The number one UK website for all Hyundai Coupe and Tuscani owners and enthusiasts!
I created ukHCS, as a lover of the Hyundai Coupe, to provide a unique resource of information for other owners. Here you will be able to read about
the latest news on new models and to discover what potential the car has, particularly in
aftermarket modifications and to identify and fix common and simple problems (of which there are very few!).
Although this is a UK site, all information
is relevant to other countries, some of whom know the Hyundai Coupe as the
Hyundai Tiburon or Tuscani.
Latest
Hyundai TSIII
We know Hyundai like to update their Coupes regularly, so here we have the new TSIII, a slightly tarted-up version of the SIII Coupe. View
Hyundai Coupe Spy Shots
Yes, it's another new Hyundai Coupe! Due out in 2009 we've barely had chance to familiarise ourselves with the SIII. The full story is on Auto Express, but you need to be registered to see it, so read all about it here!
Interview with the Owner
A new section has been launched for 2007, whereby forum members are interviewed about themselves and their Coupe. Two new ones have been added, have a look in the Owners section.
2007 Hyundai Coupe SIII
My
review of the new Hyundai Coupe SIII is now available, along with pictures of the new beastie. The general consensus on the ukHCS forums is that the back is great and the front is 'could do better' - have a look for yourself.
Hyundai Coupe history, in a nutshell
The launch of the gen1 Hyundai Coupe was a huge
success and even out-sold the Fiat Coupe in its homeland of Italy.
Hyundai didn't stand still and released a limited
edition
Hyundai Coupe F2
model in 1998 which was followed up in
June 1999 with the
Hyundai
Coupe F2 Evolution
.
February 2000 saw the new 'facelift'
next generation
, also known as
the RD2 Hyundai Coupe.
A bigger change occured in January 2002 when Hyundai
completely re-invented the Hyundai Coupe with the
3rd generation
(GK)
model, or 'Tuscani'. In line with their regular updates, this was soon followed by the
facelift gen3
, in 2005.
2006
saw the very latest Hyundai Coupe go on sale in the UK, the 'SIII', the design is still based around the gen3 model, but with exterior changes.

Me and my Coupe...
I used to own a Hyundai S-Coupe
(terrible car!), then in 1996 Hyundai made an amazing move by transforming
the square shaped S-Coupe into the fantastic shape of the
first
generation coupe
or RD to give it its correct
designation.
Having been
an admirer of the Hyundai Coupe since its UK launch in 1996, trips to the
Hyundai garage would always lead to my drooling over the new Coupe.
In September '98 I had the
great pleasure of purchasing
my
own Hyundai Coupe
, a 2 litre SE in
Cobalt Blue, it was beautiful in its standard trim, but after a year the
modifications began...
If you love your Hyundai Coupe as
much as me why not have you very own
